RMKS/1.  PURPOSE.  TO INFORM MARINES, CAREER RETENTION SPECIALISTS,
AND COMMANDERS OF SRB MULTIPLE MODIFICATIONS TO REF A.
2.  ACTION.  COMMANDING OFFICERS WILL BE GUIDED BY THE PROVISIONS OF
THIS BULLETIN IN THE COMPUTATION OF SRB AWARDS.
A.  NEW MULTIPLES ARE EFFECTIVE FOR MARINES WITH A DATE OF
REENLISTMENT ON OR AFTER 15 JUN 2003 EXCEPT AS NOTED IN PAR 2C
BELOW.  IT IS THE INTENTION OF THIS HEADQUARTERS TO CONCLUDE THE SRB
PROGRAM ON 31 AUG 2003.  IF SRBP FUNDING EXISTS AFTER 31 AUG 2003,
THE SRBP WILL BE EXTENDED THROUGH SEP 2003 (END OF FY03).  IF SRB
FUNDS ARE OBLIGATED FASTER THAN CURRENTLY PLANNED, THIS HEADQUARTERS
WILL TERMINATE THE PROGRAM BEFORE 31 AUG 2003.  COMMANDERS WILL BE
ADVISED 30 DAYS IN ADVANCE IF SRB PROGRAM TERMINATION WILL BE
EARLIER THAN 31 AUG 2003.  SKILLS NOT LISTED ARE CONSIDERED TO HAVE
A ZERO MULTIPLE.
B.  IF A MULTIPLE WAS DECREASED OR INCREASED, THE OLD MULTIPLE IS
INDICATED BY ( ) TO THE RIGHT OF THE NEW MULTIPLE IN THE TABLE IN
PARA 2.K. BELOW.
C.  MULTIPLES THAT WERE DECREASED REMAIN VALID THROUGH 15 JUL 2003.
THE OLD MULTIPLES WILL NO LONGER BE HONORED BEGINNING 16 JUL 2003.
MULTIPLES THAT WERE INCREASED ARE EFFECTIVE ON 15 JUN 2003.  
D.  EXPIRATION OF CURRENT CONTRACT (ECC) ELIGIBILITY.  SRB
REENLISTMENTS ARE LIMITED TO ZONE B AND ZONE C MARINES WHO ARE
WITHIN 12 MONTHS OF THEIR ECC.  AS AN EXCEPTION, MARINES MORE THAN
12 MONTHS FROM ECC WHO REQUIRE ADDITIONAL SERVICE TO COMPLY WITH
PERMANENT CHANGE OF STATION ORDERS WILL BE ELIGIBLE FOR SRB WHEN
SPECIFICALLY APPROVED FOR REENLISTMENT VIA MESSAGE BY THE CMC
(MMEA-6).  ECC IS TO BE USED VICE END OF ACTIVE SERVICE (EAS) AS A
RESULT OF STOP LOSS ENTRIES MADE TO MARINE'S EAS.  ZONE A MARINES
MUST REENLIST IN THE FY OF THEIR ECC.
E.  ZONE A APPLIES TO THOSE MARINES WITH 17 MONTHS TO 6 YEARS OF
ACTIVE MARINE CORPS SERVICE.  ZONE B APPLIES TO THOSE MARINES WITH
6 TO 10 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE.  ZONE C APPLIES TO THOSE MARINES
WITH 10 TO 14 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE.  MARINES WITH GREATER THAN
14 YEARS OF TOTAL ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE IN THE UNITED STATES ARMED
FORCES ARE NOT ELIGIBLE TO RECEIVE A SRB PAYMENT.  WHEN COMPUTING
THE 6 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE FOR ZONE A ELIGIBILITY, PRIOR ACTIVE
SERVICE IN ANY OTHER MILITARY DEPARTMENT IS EXCLUDED AND ONLY ACTIVE
SERVICE IN THE MARINE CORPS IS INCLUDED.  THIS EXCLUSION DOES NOT
APPLY, HOWEVER, TO THE 14 YEAR SERVICE CAP ON A MARINE'S
ELIGIBILITY, WHICH CONSIDERS HIS OR HER TOTAL ACTIVE SERVICE.  ALL
ACTIVE DUTY TIME SERVED, REGARDLESS OF U.S. MILITARY BRANCH SERVED
IN, IS TO BE USED IN DETERMINING ZONE B AND ZONE C STATUS.
F.  MARINES WITH EXACTLY 6 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE ON THE DATE OF
REENLISTMENT MAY BE PAID A ZONE A BONUS IF THEY HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY
RECEIVED A ZONE A BONUS.  IF THEY HAVE RECEIVED A ZONE A BONUS, OR
IF NO ZONE A BONUS IS DESIGNATED, THEY MAY BE PAID A ZONE B BONUS.
MARINES WITH EXACTLY 10 YEARS OF ACTIVE SERVICE ON THE DATE OF
REENLISTMENT MAY BE PAID A ZONE B BONUS IF THEY HAVE NOT PREVIOUSLY
RECEIVED A ZONE B BONUS.  IF THEY HAVE RECEIVED A ZONE B BONUS, OR
IF NO ZONE B BONUS IS DESIGNATED, THEY MAY BE PAID A ZONE C BONUS.
G.  USMC BONUS PAYMENT POLICY:  THE ZONE A SRB MULTIPLES WILL NOT
INCREASE DURING THE FISCAL YEAR.  THIS HEADQUARTERS HAS MADE EVERY
EFFORT TO MAINTAIN EQUITY AND CONSISTENCY IN THE OFFERED SRB
MULTIPLES FOR ALL ZONES.  BECAUSE ZONES B AND C MARINES ARE ELIGIBLE
TO REENLIST 365 DAYS PRIOR TO THEIR ECC, THEY ARE NOT CONSTRAINED TO
A FISCAL YEAR TO MAKE THE REENLISTMENT DECISION.  TO DATE, FY03 HAS
BEEN A VERY SUCCESSFUL YEAR IN ACHIEVING OUR FTAP AND STAP
REENLISTMENT GOALS, HOWEVER, THERE ARE STILL CAREER FORCE MOS(S)
LAGGING RETENTION GOALS.  THIS MARADMIN AUTHORIZES AN ADDITIONAL 17
MOS(S) A BONUS INCREASE OR AN INITIAL BONUS OFFERING.  REENLISTMENT
ELIGIBLE CAREERISTS SHOULD NOT WAIT ON A POSSIBLE SRBP FUNDS
EXTENSION BEYOND 31 AUG 2003 TO REENLIST FOR A SRB.
H.  THREE KEY ELEMENTS OF THE FY03 SRB PROGRAM ARE:  1.  PAYMENT IN
LUMP SUM, 2.  THE OPTION TO REENLIST FOR A FULL 48 MONTHS OF SRB
IN ZONES A, B, AND C, AND 3.  ZONE A PAYMENT CAP OF 30,000 DOLLARS
AND ZONES B AND C PAYMENT CAP OF 35,000 DOLLARS.
(1) LUMP SUM PAYMENT.  IN FY03, ALL MARINES WILL BE REQUIRED TO
RECEIVE 100 PERCENT OF THEIR REENLISTMENT BONUS IN ONE LUMP SUM
PAYMENT.  NO 50 PERCENT UP FRONT PAYMENTS WILL BE AUTHORIZED.
(2) 48 MONTHS OF SRB OPTION IN ZONES A, B, AND C.  THE ULTIMATE
DOLLAR SRB CONTRACT AMOUNT IS IMPACTED BY THE NUMBER OF ADDITIONAL
OBLIGATED MONTHS OF SERVICE FOR WHICH THE MARINE REENLISTS FOR.  BY
REENLISTING FOR MORE MONTHS, A MARINE'S CONTRACT AMOUNT WILL
INCREASE.  IN FY03, MARINES WILL HAVE THE OPTION TO REENLIST FOR A
FULL 48 MONTHS OF SRB.  MARINES WILL NOT BE PENALIZED FINANCIALLY
FOR REENLISTING EARLY.  FOR EXAMPLE, IF A MARINE'S EAS IS ON 1 AUG
2003 AND THE MARINE REENLISTS ON 1 OCT 2002, THE MARINE WILL BE ABLE
TO REENLIST BETWEEN 48 MONTHS (NEW EAS 1 OCT 2006) AND 58 MONTHS
(NEW EAS 1 AUG 2007).  IF THE MARINE CHOOSES TO REENLIST FOR 48
MONTHS IN THIS EXAMPLE, THE REENLISTMENT LENGTH OF HIS/HER SRB
CALCULATION WOULD BE 38 MONTHS (48 MONTH CONTRACT LENGTH MINUS 10
MONTHS OF OBLIGATED SERVICE REMAINING UNDER INITIAL CONTRACT).  IF
THE MARINE CHOOSES TO REENLIST FOR 58 MONTHS IN THIS EXAMPLE, THE
REENLISTMENT LENGTH OF HIS/HER SRB CALCULATION WOULD BE 48 MONTHS
(58 MONTH CONTRACT LENGTH MINUS 10 MONTHS OF OBLIGATED SERVICE
REMAINING UNDER INITIAL CONTRACT).  IN THIS EXAMPLE, THE MARINE
WOULD HAVE THE OPTION TO REENLIST FOR A CONTRACT LENGTH (IN UNITS OF
MONTHS) ANYWHERE BETWEEN 48 AND 58 MONTHS.
(3) SRB PAYMENT CAPS.  FOR FY03, ZONE A PAYMENT CAPS REMAIN AT
30,000 DOLLARS AND ZONE B AND C PAYMENT CAPS REMAIN AT 35,000
DOLLARS.
I.  RECOUPMENT POLICY.  MARINES WHO RECEIVE AN SRB PAYMENT WILL BE
REQUIRED TO SERVE IN A BILLET REQUIRING THE MOS FOR WHICH HE/SHE
RECEIVED THE BONUS PAYMENT UNLESS HE/SHE SERVES IN AN AUTHORIZED
OUT-OF-SKILL ASSIGNMENT OR A WAIVER IS GRANTED BY CMC (MMEA-8).
FAILURE TO COMPLETE THIS REQUIREMENT WILL RESULT IN RECOUPMENT
OF THE UNEARNED PORTION OF THE MARINE'S BONUS AS STATED IN DOD
7000.14 FINANCIAL MANAGEMENT REGULATION VOLUME 7A.  MARINE CORPS
RECOUPMENT POLICY WILL DIFFER FROM DOD 7000.14 VOLUME 7A IN OUR
ENLISTED TO OFFICER PROGRAMS.  MARINES SELECTED FOR WARRANT OFFICER,
MECEP, OR BOOST PROGRAMS WILL BE REQUIRED TO PAY BACK ANY UNEARNED
PORTION (PRORATED) OF THEIR LUMP SUM SRB PAYMENT IF THEY SERVE LESS
THAN TWO YEARS IN THEIR SRB MOS.  AFTER SERVING TWO YEARS IN HIS/HER
SRB MOS, NO RECOUPMENT IS REQUIRED OF A MARINE ACCEPTED FOR A
COMMISSIONING PROGRAM.  AS STATED IN DOD 7000.14 SECTION 090201
PAR E, NUMBER 4, MEMBERS WHO REENLIST OR EXTEND TO GAIN SUFFICIENT
OBLIGATED SERVICE TO PARTICIPATE IN A PROGRAM LEADING TO A
COMMISSIONED OR WARRANT OFFICER STATUS ARE NOT ENTITLED TO AN SRB.
